Antennaria friesiana, or Fries' pussytoes, is an Arctic species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is the northern reaches of Asia and North America (Russia , Alaska, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavut, Quebec, Labrador, and Greenland). Many of the populations lack male (staminate) flowers and reproduce asexually.[2][3][4][5]
